    You can be very proud of your fine work carried out. It was described originally as a ‘conversation piece’ so you have definitely given this a whole new lease on life. It sounds great too.

    Coincidentally I've been doing nearly the same exercise on a 1922 Boosey & co Eb tuba and faced similar issues, i ended up soldering 6 patches over holes and reconnecting the lead pipe and fixing dented valves. It'll never be an orchestra instrument but would fit nicely into a New Orleans style or even Funk band. Very satisfying to give these old beauties a new life.

      I got an old 1935 martin Eb 3+1 at an antique store for under $200. I would've sworn in was spray painted gray. Bit by bit is getting shinier, but lots of nooks and crannies!

      I always like to see old instruments made playable again. Sure, you wouldn't use them in a Symphony Orchestra, but I reckon they've got lots of character and soul for small ensembles/bands who want to bash out a few tunes. I've recently acquired a ca. 1923 Boosey & Co Cornet which was considered a wall ornament, but it turned out to be perfectly playable - just had to sent it to a repairer to unstuck two of the slides and get a nasty dent out of the bell.

  • @BuddyCooke
    @BuddyCooke 6 лет назад +18

    Trent- good work! You didnt destroy it- it was a salvage job and its now playable.
    Question: did you cut your own felts because those size felts arent available or just cost savings? (Obviously it worked).
    And I always thought you werent suposed to use Braso in silver. But it came out nice.

  • @SorcerySpeedConcede
    @SorcerySpeedConcede 6 лет назад +1

    I did "custom" felt washers on my Pan Am Eb tuba (approx 1930's), and I also doubled up on the washers. I just couldn't find felt thick enough for the washers. I also bought a bag of wine bottle corks for a dollar at Goodwill which works quite nicely for replacing any cork.

    This is really a nice job ! You didn't ruin or destroy it you made it trully better ! I was impressed with your work on the valve's guide ! Keep up the good work and make more historical instrument "better again" !

  • @josephervine1119
    @josephervine1119 6 лет назад +2

    That tuba looks amazing. The music shop that I visit regularly has an old Besson Tuba made in England that was made in around the 1920s and is the original schematic for the tuba that you restored. All the lacquer has rubbed off, it's missing all 3 valve caps and the tip of the mouthpiece receiver at the end of the lead pipe is torn off. Literally torn off. I'm thinking of paying for it to be restored cause I can't just sit by and let it rotin the repair section of the music store and be used for spare parts. I already have a King 2341W full sized Tuba, and I just think it's too new. I've done research and it's worth around 12k USD.

    I have a trombone cleaning question, and it seems you are relatively good at fixing instruments. Just some backstory, I have a 1909 buscher trombone that my grandfather gave me. It has a very good tone and a beautiful engraving on the bell, but the only downside to it is that the spit comes out green. You might think letting a music shop take a look at it is smart, but I'm also 14. And poor. So if you have any idea on how to clean it or fix that, it would be greatly appreciated.

    • @TrentHamilton
      @TrentHamilton  6 лет назад +3

      Yeah, I'd really recommend you take it in to get serviced. If that really isn't an option, give it a bath in warm soapy water, get a slide cleaning brush and give the tubes a good brushing.

    I'm in the process of cleaning my very old 1800's Euphonium. After watching this video I consider buying that Brasso thing, made a huge difference on your instrument! Also, do you recommend buying valve oil and if so, which one? Yamaha has a "Vintage oil", would that be necessary? Thanks.

    • @Anthony_7500
      @Anthony_7500 6 лет назад +3

      for the love of god do not use brass on anything from the 1800's. talk to a tech who works with instruments from that era. You could destroy the value some instruments just by polishing them.

    • @SimonCoffman
      @SimonCoffman 6 лет назад

      Do not use Brasso. If you are going to not go to a specialist, use something designed specifically for silver, like Haggerty's silver cleaning

    • @jethrothorne4801
      @jethrothorne4801 6 лет назад +1

      I also second using Haggerty's Silver Polish (Use the spray kind for a better result). Valve oil wise, Monster Oil is decent, but becomes less effective over time. I would recommend Hetmans Oil Type 1 or Type 2 depending on how snug the fit of your valves are in the valve casing. If they are a tight fit, use type 1. If it's not super snug, use type 2. I own an Adams E3 and use a type 1 because of how precise the valve block was made.

    Great job saving that tuba. My big question has been: Did you clean the inside of that horn? Good lord! I just bought a HUGE Bb helicon, and, after having test played it, I heard water in the fourth valve. Kinda gross, considering the horn hadn't been played for around 5 years.

    Question, why was brasso used instead of silvo? Would brasso have damaged the silver plating?

    • @crimsun7186
      @crimsun7186 6 лет назад +1

      Robin Hall Silvo is only good for polishing, it doesn't remove any deep tarnish marks, since it's less abrasive than Brasso.

    Not sure how you came up with the number/thickness of felts, but here is a good link for a tool you can easily build.
    redwingmusicrepair.org/portfolios/JHuth/pdfs/BIR_Brass_Manual_valve_porting.pdf
    Also, go out and buy a cheap punch to make the felt holes better. It will give you a flat-sitting felt for more consistent porting.

    Do not use Brasso on silver. It’s far too aggressive an abrasive. Use something more like Haggerty’s or something else specifically made for silver.

      Tyguy80s, Here is a horn that I did with a similar level of tarnish. It was done with dish soap, Haggerty's, and elbow grease. The only time I might pull out Brasso is for tuning slide work, and lately I have not been done that. It is just too aggressive/abrasive. photos.app.goo.gl/ruug4JrrEBQNpavT2

      Brasso is an abrasive cleaner. While it will clean your instrument, it will also remove your lacquer. Use Silvo instead.
